I mean I guess it's a good deal, but...Netflix is $15 for 1 at a time unlimited plus streaming unlimited. Then there is GameFly. I would do GF/Netflix over this deal personally since my local HWV isn't that nice. If they started that online that would be cool.

Repetition in a game is NOT a bad thing, almost all games are repetitive. What matters is if YOU enjoy the game, then the repetition becomes enjoyable and doesn't feel monotonous or boring.

QFF (Quoted For Fett). $40 is too much when compared with the home access of Netflix and Gamefly... $23 + $15 and better selection (at least compared to my local HWVideo).

I'm with ya, it's not for everyone. My local HWV likes to take good care of any of the monthly subscription customers. The biggest advantage of the plan to me would be the convenience of being able to pick up your movies/games right away, but that isn't that big of a deal any more now that a lot the online rental services can get your items to you in 1-2 days.

I already got like a movie plan with Hollywood. Similar to that Gold plan but unlimited movie rentals though no games or Blu-Ray. Would suck if they force us to use this because we would go there like twice a week since its only about four blocks away. That's like 48 points a month, then again we practically watched everything already.

Too expensive for what is being offered... For the $39.99 plan, they are basically offering the same thing as a Netflix + Gamefly combination (if you primarily rent games). That's currently the combination I'm using and it is only costing about $27 per month (bought 12 month Gamefly subscription at a discount around the holidays).

With Netflix, you get unlimited instant streaming over the web and your Xbox 360, a huge advantage. With Gamefly, you have the option to keep games (at a discounted rate, based on how long you've been a member), and they also give you a $5 coupon every few months. It's a no-brainer for me.

The only way I could see this being worth it would be if somebody lived REALLY close to a Hollywood Video and was blowing through a ton of movies and games every month. Most people aren't going to flip games and movies fast enough to do that (if the guy that suggested renting 90 movies per month actually has time to watch 90 movies per month AND visit Hollywood Video EVERY day, may god have mercy on his soul...lol).

By the way, how the heck are you guys paying ~$15 per month for Netflix with only 1 movie out at a time? I'm paying $8.99 / month for that, so you must be getting ripped off

Not too impressed, especially since I here Redbox is Beta testing Gaming Kiosks right now. Also as others stated netflix and gamefly are cheaper. Hollywood is doing want all rental chains do and that is charge you more for the convenience of having it at a B&M store. I'm always willing to wait for a good price. This plan blows IMHO.

HAPPY GAMINGTradelist There is no need to fight, there are items for all:-P

I am on the 1-a-month unlimited plan for netflix and it is $8.99 a month.

Because of the 12 free game rental coupon sheets that are given out at Game Crazy for system purchases, HWV never has any good games for rent. Also whoever decides what and how many copies of games to get is an idiot. 6 copies of Golden Axe and 1 copy of Mirror's Edge, I mean come on...

You also get 50% off preplayed movies and I believe 10% off of used games.

Sadly that discount won't stack with the other previously viewed deals that HWV runs all the time. So it'll only save you a little bit more sometimes. Although it'll benefit those who are just wanting to buy one movie, as most of the deals are for 3-4 movies typically.

While the deal I posted may be weak, I've learned something! As soon as I quit Hollywood Video (lose free rentals) after finishing up school, I'm gonna start a Netflix & Gamefly combo! I had no idea Netflix and Gamefly were that cheap, I've had free rentals at Hollywood video for 2-3 years now so I've been out of the loop on online rental services.

Let's see, HWV charges 4.29 a movie for 5 day's. If i rent 1 movie a week for 1 month that's a total of 17.16 for the 4 movies. I am saving 10.17 a month for renting the 4 movies if i go with the silver plan for 7.99 a month. Is'nt that a great deal? That's like 2.00 dollars a movie.Am i wrong?
